Summary
Enables bioactive lipid receptor activity. Involved in glucose homeostasis; positive regulation of transport; and response to fatty acid. Acts upstream of or within insulin secretion. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in gut and male reproductive gland or organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FFAR1 (free fatty acid receptor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
